Has anyone been able to actually get on the ABH site today? It's not loading for me at all today...Is this normal for an ABH launch?

I've been up since the early morning and the site was loading well some time around 5am or so, but it's been down since around 8-9am. The site's been undergoing some kind of changes for a while now. You could peruse the content, but couldn't sign-in. It's a bit frustrating. ​I just want to get this purchase over with.

ABH posted on Instagram that the site is down for maintenance for the upcoming launch...they'll post a picture when it's back up (and the new stuff will be live as well, I presume)

For some reason I'm not interested in Anastasia highlighters. Good for my wallet I guess. I feel like I have similar stuff already.

I' m just waiting for the hype to die down a bit. I'm also intersted in reading and seeing more reviews.

My Bitter Lace highlighters arrived yesterday. They are beautiful but the teal one fell out of the pan and broke into a few pieces. Also my Looxi highlighter in Ever After is crumbling. I emailed them both to ask for replacements. We'll see what the reply is.

I'm suffering from highlighter overload

I wear a different one everyday, yet they're starting to all look the same.
Thats why you have to get on these Looxi and Bitter Lace highlighters, hehehe. But I know how you feel. I am considering returning my Gerard Star Powders (GASP!). They definitely give a glow, more glow that I am used to but I could get used to it. #shinebrightlikeadiamond


Broken Highlighter Update: Jessica at Looxi is sending me a replacement Ever After (hooray!) and I haven't heard back from Bitter Lace yet so I thought why not try my hand at repressing the powders. I started with the Bitter Lace powder and I think I didn't mix in quite enough alcohol and then with Ever After I think I mixed in too much. I guess we'll see. While crunching up the Looxi powder I had the awesome idea to tweak it with MAC pigments. I added Viz a Violet, a lot of Pink Bronze (maybe too much) and some Apricot Pink in the mix. We'll see how it turns out but the powder swatch was very pretty!

Thats why im not buying a bunch of highlighters, i dont want too many dupes in my collection, but one highlighter i do need is in the color like the chanel camelia de plumes, but that one is like over 100+ dls on ebay and im not paying that... I was thinking tom ford moodlight or cle de peau no11 pastel, or even the anastasia one in starlight, i want it for use it on the cooler months but i cant make up my mind yet

good point on them all looking alike, maybe I'll hold off on Gerard Cosmetics after all.
I find Lucy to be the more unique of the 3 tbh. Gives a nice glow. I need to see how it compares to LG Ballerina, in my head they may be similar, but the Gerard formula and application trumps LG. Wearing Marilyn today, now that I didn't need. It's nice but it's gold...I have many gold/champagne colors. I think I'm done with highlighters for a bit.

I think you're being really wise. It is easy to get caught up in the hype of any new product. I'm trying to be more circumspect in my purchases too. I do have both Chanel Camélia De Plumes and Tom Ford Moodlight and I think both are unique. TF is actually a duo, targeting different types of light that would potentially reflect your facial high planes. It's definitely time for me to scale back until my beauty room reno is completed next year, but I can't guarantee that I won't purchase a highlighter that's unique to my collection before then.

You're right, and I got them so cheap that I should hold on to them. I just can't grab another highlighter unless it is TRUELY unique. Some weird/random/cool color or finish that I haven't seen before. So I think I'm done for a while although I did just order Looxi highlighters in Divine, Posh and Foxy last night (mainly because Foxy is being discontinued on September first and I didn't want to have no-buy remorse). I might get Lightscapade eventually... or sooner rather than later so I can just be on my no-buy already. Maybe a quick MAC trip is in order so that I can pick up RiRi 2 as well.

My new thing is layering highlighters, especially soft gold with cooler colors to make them more flattering.


ETA: If I have Perfect Topping I don't really need Lightscapade right?
